כ״ו בכסלו ה׳תשפ״ה – December 27, 2024

On the first night of Chanukah, a group of yeshiva students, organized by Rabbi Shalom Hertzel, drove up to a remote IDF post on the Golan Heights border. It was a long windy drive, far from any towns or villages,...

כ״ד בכסלו ה׳תשפ״ה – December 25, 2024

Real heroes—the kind who give a shy shrug when you ask them for their story, as if what they do is only normal. The kind of hero whose eyes give away a look of both determination and softness, because this...

ח׳ באב ה׳תשפ״ד – August 12, 2024

There was one very important thing that we had to do before Tisha B’Av began. Something that added a small spark of hope into tonight’s mourning. The IDF is expanding operations in Khan Younis. It’s a dangerous mission, in the...

כ״ט בתמוז ה׳תשפ״ד – August 4, 2024
